Much
denigrated in the 20th century, Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824-1904) was one of
the most celebrated academic painters
of the 19th century and during his lifetime one of the great stars
of French art.He is now back in fashion and this is the
first major exhibition of his work since the retrospective held the year of his
death in 1904! His highly detailed and illusionist renderings of history notably Greek and Roman, but
also of the period of Louis XIV, his Oriental
harems and slave markets and sexy female nudes make for a most entertaining
exhibition. They combine fascinating details of historical costume and
architecture with all of the obsessions and hang-ups of the Victorian Age.
